Every September, the Allbritton Journalism Institute — a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to training the political journalists of the future — welcomes a cohort of 10 early-career reporters to D.C. for a two-year fellowship.
Fellows are paid $60,000 per year to take classes with some of the country’s best journalists and to write for AJI’s partner NOTUS, where they work alongside a staff of established reporters and editors to cover politics, policy and government. Faculty include Tim Alberta of The Atlantic, Cheryl W. Thompson and Juana Summers of NPR and Josh Dawsey of The Washington Post.
Applications for the Class of 2026-2028 are due February 18. You can apply here, and you can read more about the fellowship here.
You can also apply to the opportunity via Handshake.
